Dean Linda P. Fried, MD, MPH,
Speaker at the most recent Series event: Developing Your Leadership Potential

Junior Faculty Development Series sponsored by the Office of the Executive Vice President for Health & Biomedical Sciences, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, and the Office of Academic Affairs of the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
    
Launched in the fall, the monthly series is providing a significant opportunity for CUMC junior faculty members to build their skills, receive support in their career development efforts, and form a community of individuals at a similar career stage.
